Dr. Pranay Patel, M.D., is a fellowship-trained orthopedic spine surgeon. His focus and practice philosophy lies in minimally invasive surgical techniques and spinal motion preservation. Due to advances in his techniques, Dr. Patel performs most of his surgeries in an outpatient setting, and patients typically go home the same day as their surgery. After a thorough examination and review of imaging, Dr. Patel helps his patients understand their problem, then provides them with treatment options tailored to their needs.
When indicated, Dr. Patel begins with the least invasive/non-surgical solutions. If surgery is necessary, many of the procedures can be visualized in 4k resolution through a digital microscope, thereby only requiring a small incision.
Dr. Patel is the author of several book chapters and peer-reviewed journals on spine conditions and surgical techniques. He prides himself in staying at the forefront of spinal care by being actively engaged in clinical research and advances in technology.
